Worst Album Covers

The Shaggs - Philosophy of the World (1969)

Oh yeah! So bad they're good. Zappa dug 'em. IIRC so did Cobain. I was trying to remember their name-I was thinking of the Flaggs and couldn't find them. My neighbor's 3-year-old makes up songs that sound like these and I want to see what she thinks of them.

I could only wonder at the maintenance requirements on this hairdo... That's not just a beehive, that's Utah in there!

I also notice that the vast majority of these come from the late 60s/1970s... a time period not known for its good fashion sense. In 30 years, will someone be able to do the same for this time period (assuming anyone is releasing album art anymore)? Also, most of these bands are not exactly stadium headliners (the aforementioned WASP album cover being the exception). Most of these poor schlubs couldn't afford decent photographers and stylists.
